The action starts late. Showers and a few thunderstorms are expected to move into the northern parts of Central Florida around 9 PM, then slide their way toward Orlando and the I-4 corridor by midnight. South of there? You’ll likely see the rain before sunrise.
Now, these aren’t the kind of storms that’ll send you running to the closet — the severe threat is low. But still, some spots might see gusty winds and sudden heavy downpours. If you’re in areas north of Orlando, you’re slightly more likely to hear thunder shake the windows or catch a flash of lightning.
So yeah — maybe don’t leave anything outside you’d hate to see blowing down the street.
Cooler Weather Is Coming — Yes, Really!
Let’s talk about the good news: Tuesday’s temps will top out in the mid-70s.
That might not sound wild if you’re from up north, but for us Floridians who’ve been sweating since sunrise, it’s a big deal.
The breeze behind this front will make everything feel crisper, calmer, and maybe — just maybe — like an actual spring day. Lows Tuesday night could dip into the 50s in some areas, so yes: sweaters might actually be justified.
Just don’t get used to it. The cooler air won’t stick around long — we’re heading back toward the 80s and sunny skies by the weekend.
What You Can Do Tonight to Stay Ready (and Dry)
-
Secure outdoor stuff. Lawn chairs, trash bins, garden flags — if it’s light, bring it in.
-
Plug in your phone. You might not lose power, but better safe than sorry.
-
Check your morning route. Roads could be slick during your early commute, so take it slow.
The Rest of the Week: A Little Chill, Then Back to Warm and Bright
You’ll wake up Tuesday feeling like someone turned the thermostat down — and it’ll be lovely. Sunshine returns quickly though, and by Thursday, we’re heading right back into that sweet spot of low-80s with a light breeze.
Enjoy it while it lasts — because in Florida, cool weather is like a cameo. Blink and you’ll miss it.
